Used the Ear-Trumpet.

A happy household in this city is the
possessor of baby girl six months

seems to laugh with the sun and sleep
when the shadows come, taking her
meals meanwhile, however. In the
house is dear, good, elderly lady
who, unfortunately, is deaf and COM
peeled to use an ear-trumpet. The in
strument has heretofore been source
of wonderment to the little one, whose
mother and the lady carry on their
daily intercourse through its instru-
mentality. Suddenly the baby seemed
to grasp the situation, and while the
trumpet was in her vicinity began to
babble and laugh through it, much to
the establishment and delight of the
old lady, who never before had
heard that baby voice. Now that the
source of communication has been dis
covered. winter and budding spring
commune in the happiest manner, and
their friendship is thus more firmly
cemented. Albany Express.

closely associated tight-lacing with

Every scholar is aware that stays
are articles of attire of the very high
est antiquity, and that cestus of Agale
was practically a corset Some an
tiquarians have ever contended that
the gridle which Juno wore when she
wished to appear her loveliest in the
eyes of Jupiter was pair of stays.
The Empress Messalina was wont to
have her body cravat adjusted
very tightly before she preceded
to pass happy evening in the suburra,
while in the reign of Augustus an i'm
proved corset was introduced called q
''castula;" it fitted closely to the form,
and had the agreeable addition of a
dress improver.
The ladies' stays of the Middle Ages
were known as 'justaucorps," and
subsequently as ''cotteshardies;" but
Isabeau de Baviere. the consort of
Charles vi. of France totally repudiat-
ed stays, and, besides, laid it down as
sumptuary canon that there should
be as littlehrapery as possible between
the necklace and the lace. When the
Italian Catherine brought in the
execrable busk, which was first of wood
or of ivory, the corset SUCCESSFULLY
developed in rigidity and obduracy. 1t
became cage, it became a cuirass,
and it had to be so tightly laced that,
the muscular power of the ordinary
femme de chambre' being inadequate
to the pulley-hauling required, the
court ladies used to send for the
strongest of the Forts de la Halle to
tug at their stay-laces, and even these
athletic creatures could not accomplish
their task to the entire satisfaction of
their fashionable employers without
pressing one foot firmly against the
bedpost in order to obtain the neces-
sary purchase of leverage. The cor
sets of the present day, whether they
be machine-made or hand-fashioned
from the accurate measurement of the
customer, invariably present the same
general characteristics of fastening in
front and profusely boned at the sides;
while at the back there is that disas-
trous interstice. with it's permanent
criss-cross lacing. which can be pulled
and hauled at until the vain and silly
wearer commits constructive suicide.

WHEN TO PICK FRUIT.
Points That the Good Fruit-Growe1
Should Observe Carefully.

Points That the Good Fruit Grower
Should Observe Carefully.
When fruits are mature, they make
preparation for falling. just as mature
leaves do. A distinct line is formed
upon the stem of the fruit, in prepara-
ton for the separation. When the ap-
pie or pear is mature, 1t will separate
from the tree without any pulling;
mere lifting the fruit from its hang
ing position to a horizontal one, will
cause the separation from the tree to
take place at once. A little observa-
ton will teach when the fruit is ready
to be gathered. At this time, the
fruit having made its growth, derives
nothing more from the tree. After
the fruit is full-grown, its next step is
towards decay. Decay in early kinds
comes in few days or weeks. In the
late sorts it requires several months,
but whether early or late. there is
stage in this progress from maturity
to decay, when the fruit best
suits our purpose, and we say,
that is ''ripe,'' or mellow" or ':in
eating" This time in early kinds
comes very quickly, and other varieties
do not assume it before spring. Early
kinds come into "eating condition"
so soon that they will bear little trans
portation, hence are suited only to near
markets. But these vary greatly, and
there are from very early and autumn
kinds, to the very latest. The
fruit-grower should be careful OBJ
server of these points. The best fruit
may be spoiled or materially depreci-
ated in value by careless picking and
handling. Properly constructed cold
storage houses will do much towards
keeping fruit in good condition, but
unless the fruit is picked at the right
time. it can not be kept profitably even
in the best fruit house. american Ag-

MOURNING JEWELRY.
A Few of the Most Curious Freaks in the
Fashions of Grief

A Few of the Most Curious Freaks in the
Fashions of Grief.
The strangest freak of all the
fashions of grief has been the wearing
of mourning jewelry;'' to demonstrate
our inconsolable lot by a pertinent
reference to it in our adornment, is
surely paradoxical I saw the other
day mourning ring" very interest
ing in its quaint frivolity. A slender
circle of gold held an oblong disk Of
white enameled surface, on which was
depicted the tomb, the weeping willow.
and the visiting relative Gin this case a
widow, all neatly placed under glass.
1t was an old, old ring, belonging to a
great-grandmother, who wore it for
her first husbands memory, although,
as she survived two more, it may have
done tender memorial services for all
three. The process which converts the
golden curl, the brown tress or the
gray hair of our lost one into chair
jewelry'' is among the curiosities of
sentiment. Is it not cruel to wear
portion of our dead for orna-
mentP Surely the wiry strand, re-
pellant and rigid. was never the soft
hair about the 'old familiar faces" I
remember seeing some mother hair
woven into the design of anchors for
earrings, and the daughters were
seeming to derive comfort from the
light tossing of this emblem of security.
and no doubt finding some occult sat
isfactory reason for the incongruity of
design and fact. In our youth there
clustered about us old maiden aunts
wearing chains and bracelets of hair
their stiffness seeming to testify to an
unyielding sorrow, and their quantity
that the "departed'' must have been
Samsons. Then there were the brooches
with the bullying serpentine twists
of hair forming a frame for the pictur-
ed face of the original possessor of the
harlan uncertain appeal to frame, as
the exigencies of a brooch sometimes
the head to the vicissitude
of being worn upside down, thus mar
ring the act of would be respectful

NATURAL INSTINCT.
How 1t Il Developed In Birds Fowl
Beasts and Insects.

How 1t Il Developed In Birds Fowiss
Beasts and Insects.
Chickens, two minutes after they
have left the egg follow with their eyes
the movements of crawling insects
and peck at them, judging distance
and direction with almost infallible
accuracy. They will instinctly appre-
ciate sounds, readily running toward
an invisible hen hidden in box when
they hear her s'call" Some young
birds also have an innate, instructive
horror at the sight of hawk and OF
the sound of its voice. Swallows, tit
mice, tomtits and wrens, after having
been confined from birth, are capable
of flying at once when liberated on
their wings have attained their neces-
sary growth to render flight possible.
The Duke of Argyle relates some
very interesting particulars about the
instinct of birds, especially of the
water ousel, the merganser and the
wild duck. Even as to the class of
beast I find recorded: Five young
polecats were found comforta-
bly, imbedded in dry. withered
grass, and in side hole
of proper dimensions for such
larder, were forty frogs and two toads,
all alive, but merely capable of sprawl
ing little. On examination the
whole number, toads and all, proved
to have been purposely and dexterous-
ly bitten through the BRAIN" EVIDENT
ly the parent polecat had thus provid-
ed the young with food which could be
kept perfectly fresh. because alive, and
yet was rendered quite unable to es-
cape. This singular instinct is like
others which are yet more fully devel-
oped among insects-a class of animals
the instincts of which are so numerous,
wonderful and notorious that it will
be, probably, enough to refer to one or
two examples. The female carpenter
bee, in order to protect her eggs, ex-
cavates, in some piece of wood,
series of chambers, in special order
with a view to peculiar mode of exit
for her young; but the young mother
can have no conscious knowledge of
the serious action subsequently to en-
sue. The female of the wasp (sphex)
afford another well-known, but
very remarkable example of
complex instinct CLOSELY
related to that already mentioneo,ap
the case of the polecat The female
wasp has to provide fresh living ami
NAL food for her progeny, which, when
it quits its egg, quits it in the form Of
an almost helpless grub, utterly unable
to catch, retain or kill an active, strug-
Cling prey. Accordingly the mother
insect has not only to provide and
place beside her eggs suitable living
prey, but so to treat it that it may be
helpless, unresisting victim.t That
victim may be mere caterpillar, or it
may be a great, powerful grassh4pper,
or even that most fierce, actiYhtand
rapacious of insect tyrants. a felf Ind
venomous spider. Whichever it may
be, the wasp adroitly stings it at the
spot which induces, or in the several
spots which induce, complete paral-
ysis as to motion, let us hope as to
sensation also. This done, the wasp
entombs the helpless being with its
own egg, and leaves it for the support
of the future grub. -Fortnightly Re-
